I wonder if the "Ceterone" listing on BFH and Biber/La Battaglia came from Luca or the record labels? Is it possible that the labels (Winter & Winter and Teldec), need to update their typesetting dictionaries? Or have we got a case where the copy editors had a Western Musicological bias and assumed that a cetra and ceterone were one in the same (i.e. cetra being misunderstood as cetera)?
In his correspondence to me, Luca specifically called his instrument a "cetra," and didn't link it directly to the ceterone. Curious minds.....
